29 going on 16

My parents live in a time vacuum, where I will be forever 16 years old. I met my friends from high school for some drinks the other day and my mom promptly calls me by midnight to say "This is not the time for a nice lady to be out of the house!" For one, I am not young. Two, I am not a nice lady! Why is it that even though you are the most accomplished CEO, you have three children on your own, you had a breakthrough scientific discovery, the moment you come back home your mom will wake you up at 6 AM (even though you are not involved in any agricultural activity of any sort) and makes sure you wash dishes after dinner? You need a reality check in life, just go home and listen to your mom lecturing you on the proper way of doing laundry!
